Langley Aerodrome by Brady Lehr

Langley designed a but unsuccessful aircraft. Each aircraft that he sent up would fall out of the sky seconds after launch. Then in 1894 there was a successful flight for 90 seconds and that was number 5 and that flew 90`100 feet and the number 6 got a lot higher. Once they tried to man it again for the navy it did not work and a few years later the Wright Brothers made there plane.
